Kubernetes Custom Resources with Kubeless and Metacontroller

Kubernetes offers a lot of basic resources to accomodate most application requirements but sometimes this is not enough. Kubernetes 1.7 introduced a new CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) resource to create your very own kubernetes resources. Although CRDs themselves are easy to use, they provide no way to define the actual logic behind the custom resource. For this the Metacontroller and Kubeless projects can be used, making the whole process a breeze.
